Christina Aguilera’s ‘Not Myself Tonight’ Video

Christina Aguilera has debuted a new video for her song “Not Myself Tonight.” It’s a glossy, high-energy clip that reveals an extremely mature, kinda Madonna/Lady Gaga-ish, very dominatrix-like Aguilera. She’s got an army of dancers behind her, and she’s wearing a lot of high-end fashion that looks like it might be uncomfortable to sweat in, and even more difficult to launder. (Do you dry clean the rubber mini-dress or throw it in the wash?) There’s also some suggested lesbian sex and some scenes in which Aguilera is bound and gagged with what appears to be some of the most expensive S & M gear ever produced. Speakeasy was particularly entertained by the sequence, about 2 minutes in, where all the debauchery pauses for a moment of product placement for Aguilera’s fragrances. Edgy sex may be fun and all that, but when it comes to Xtina this is about bizness, son. The video is for a single off her coming album “Bionic.” You can see the clip here.
